The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 6 mappings to external registries for this resource with 3 unique external prefixes.

A provider turns a local unique identifiers from a resource into a URI. Many providers are also resolvable as URLs (i.e., they can be used in a web browser).

The local unique identifier TF101014 is used to demonstrate the providers available for TreeFam. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.

Additional providers curated in the Bioregistry are listed here. These are typically inherited from Identifiers.org or Prefix Commons, and need extra curation.
